Parachuting at Antarctica (1)

Three parachutists planned to parachute at Antarctica. They got permission from Argentina and arrived at the Marambio Base (馬蘭比奧海軍准將站) on Isla Marambio (馬蘭比奧島), off the coast of Palmer Peninsula at Antarctica.

They first practised skydiving somewhere near the base to study the weather conditions, the wind speeds, the safety and rescue measures.

The dangers of parachuting they might face would be sudden wind storms at such a cold place and the falling into the bleak cold icy sea water could be hazardous.
The parachutists found the trial jump, which lasted for only one and a half minute, a perfect and enjoyable one. However, for the case of parachuting deeper inland might not be funny and be filled with dangers.
